Foil {Hedron Crab}. That's right!  Be jealous!

Seriously though, I change decks so often that I never keep any super expensive cards. My personal favorite cards I have though are my {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn} (<3) and my foil Invasion {Crosis, the Purger}.  I just love Emmy and Crosis is some sick art with that sweet old school foil.

Neither of them are horribly expensive though :P

I love promos, my favorite playsets of mine are buy a box {birds of paradise}, buy a box {celestial colonnade}, argyle signed buy a box {chandra's pheonix}, fnm {farseek}, and player rewards {day of judgement}.

I also have a playset of felix signed {creeping tar pit}.

Danny has nine foil {markov's chosen} signed by both Argyle and the model for that artwork. He got a personalized note from the model too.

The most expensive asset we have though is probably the playset of Argyle signed {liliana of the veil}.

Hmm we have a lot of cool stuff, it's hard to pick things out! I do love my foil {Marsh Flats} and {Arid Mesa}. My signed original {Temple Garden} is sweet as well. Foil Italian {Path to Exile} from conflux is nice. Honorable mention to our playset of {Tarmogoyf}!

I am also a huge fan of promos, with 18 different kinds. Currently trying to get all 12 RtR block PreRe promos. I'm missing the simic one and all of the RtR ones.

If anyone has any promos, I will gladly trade for them. Shoot me a PM ;)

I think I'd rather pick up one or two high-dollar cards for EDH as well as the rest of a deck.  I'm about to see about offloading my Terese Neilsen lands (that's the Showing Off) this evening, probably putting the money towards what I need for a Yisan list I'm putting together, including a {Gaea's Cradle}

I'm just not really of fan of buying cards as 'investments'.  I'm gonna say go with one of the decks, probably the Legacy one if you already have EDH decks you can use.  Legacy is a super fun format.

Leylines. Unless you have another suggestion of a budget deck that'd still viable and fun?
Title: Re: Showin off
Post by: Remillo on August 13, 2014, 02:49:04 PM
Leylines and Manaless Dredge are on the Low-Budget-Not-/Really-Playing-Magic track.  My first one was Affinity, which is still pretty affordable.  The only expensive cards are the set of {Mox Opals} and is still fairly competitive.

Dredge has a reputation as being one of the farthest things from Magic you can play while still playing Magic, since the deck plays so much differently than any other deck.  Leylines is is kind of on that level because it's you basically end the game, one way or the other, in the first three turns.  However, being able to aggressively mulligan with {Serum Powder} sounds hilarious.

The three Semi-Competitive, Semi-Budget options I can think of off the top of my head are Affinity, Goblins and Merfolk.  Affinity's highest cost is about the 200-250 for your set of {Mox Opals} and can compete pretty well.  Goblins has kinda fallen out of favor, but the most expensive things for it are a set of {AEther Vial}s and {Cavern of Souls}.  Merfolk is the highest cost of the three, since you'll need Caverns, Vials and probably a set of {Force of Wills}, but it can be absolutely devastating in the right metagame.

Last I heard, my store was giving 375 in credit for the set, which seemed kinda meh against the 500-600 you could get on EBay, but then...  Ebay dropped a little bit and I realize, hey, it's free money anyways.  Might as well cash them in now.
